19 William Street, Takapuna, North Shore

Seconds from the Sand

Relishing a private position in one of Takapuna's prestigious cul-de-sacs, the property at 19 William Street is a truly inspirational sanctuary and visual symphony inside and out. The location is sought-after for its proximity to the beach, without the noise or exposure of the beachfront. The exclusive enclave is just an easy amble along the sand from Takapuna's shopping, dining, cinema and theatre, and while the peace and tranquillity at home is something special, the CBD is an easy drive away for commuters.

The current owners combine passion and expertise in both interior design and landscaping, skills that have transformed the property over the past six years into the stylish, modern retreat seen today. There's a dedicated emphasis on glamour as well as function, making the home a showpiece for family and guests, with various feature pieces and plantings meticulously sourced to alight the senses.

A detailed wrought iron front gate opens through to the covered entrance walkway, flanked either side by manicured hedges. This provides an introduction to the captivating private compound and residence to follow. Inside, the scene is set for - showcasing an enticing blend of soothing Balinese and chic New York-style influences. The voluminous lounge, dining and kitchen is the heart of the home, with solid timber floors, a striking honed marble gas fireplace, and gallery-style wall spaces. Large sliders frame the perimeter, opening up completely and doubling the room size during summer. Black glass is contrasted with a warm ash wooden finish in the kitchen, high-quality appliances will impress gourmet chefs and an elongated window overlooks the line of feijoa trees outside.

Entertaining really comes into its own in the alfresco living, where friends and family can gather around the long dining table underneath the thick canopy of wisteria above.
